If you want to have full control over your calendar and contacts (and remote files!), you can setup your own CalDAV server.
Radicale and SabreDAV are both great. Just choose one and set it up in a few minutes in either a local machine or an internet connected server for easier access.
Then on your phone, install DavX5 which is an android app to sync with CalDAV/CardDAV. Your local calendar app will be able to read from that.
Then for desktop, Thunderbird is a nice client that connects to CalDAV.
And that's pretty much it. That way you will have your own calendar and contacts (and files), on your own server.
thanks! I hadn't realised you need TWO apps to make the calendar work. Now with davx5 and simple calendar pro (both on f-droid) I finally have my calendar working (served from radicale)
thanks again!
